A day before E3 a supposedly leaked image of Golden Sun III was shown running on a DS Lite next to what appeared to be one of Nintendo’s fact sheets. The rumour was it was shown off behind closed doors at a pre-E3 event. ********** was the first site to pick it up along with *******, Maxconsole and others posting it as a rumour. Other sites such as DS Fanboy picked it apart straight away. And sadly yes it is a fake.

While I wasn't initially in on it the creator ‘Opium’, a member of my forums, owned up to it. I talk to Opium on his inspiration to make the fake and offer you the first “screenshots” of Golden Sun 3.

More 'Screenshots' and Interview

Digg if you were fooled :lol

To raise the awareness that there is a following behind the series and we want a new game.

 

[Danthrax]

He did a damn fine job on those "screenshots."

The lies, they hurt me so badly.

Do we...? Like really...?

 

[Haunted]

He did a good job, but I have to say that we debunked it pretty quickly around here.

Can't fool GAF!

You can't fool the collective of GAF but it didn't stop 6 threads being posted of it, of which he apoligises for in the interview.

I enjoyed reading the forum posts and comments that followed. It was something special. I think an apology is in order to NeoGAF though, I remember seeing about six threads during E3 that all ended up locked because no one could search the forums. Sorry guys.

True. The fact that he made a ROM out of the two photoshops was an ingenious idea. The same DS photographed from different angles made it look pretty real.

Not going to share?

 

[speedpop]

A shame it was never real and it most likely will never happen without Camelot.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

To raise the awareness that he's a total dickhead.

Fixed.

 

[Dascu]

So this Opium is TaKaM?

No, it's not .TakaM. Read the interview, it says a friend of him created the one with the Japanese text and the transfer screen.

 

[VOOK]

Well, I admit I din't bother reading the interview, but maybe VOOK should read it himself.. he's the one who said they were done by the same guy.

Yep he made that one too :lol

I know he has done two, and one is done by another, I got confused with what one you were talking about, I admit the mistake.
